The Jessie g,

Deputy U. S. Marshal Andrews went to
Augusta yesterday to serve personal sum-
mons upon Messrs. G. A. and Horace Cony.
proprietors of the Cony House, citing them
to appear in the District Court in a suit in
admiralty. The citation is issued and suit
begun in favor of certain creditors for sup
plies furnished the steamer "Jessie B." of
the lately defunct Portland & Kennebec
steamboat line; the Messrs. Cony being
generally understood to be the general agents
of the line.
In the hearing that will take place in the
District Court it is said it will appear that
the names of the Cony Bros, are not upon
the charter party of the boat, the only sigma
ture to the charter being that of Captain
Sprague of Gardiner. Captain Kilmer, the
real director of the line, who, it is alleged.
represented publicly that the Cony Bros,
were general agents of the line, it is said,
did not affix his own signature to the charter,
and did not obtain the signatures of the
Cony Bros, or any other than that of Capt.
Sprague. who, as is said, has no property
that can be recovered upon.
1t is believed, that the Cony Bros. can be
held responsible for the debts of the line.
The amount of the claim which will be sued
for is something over 500 and includes a
$500 account for coal furnished by Randall
d McAllster.

Union Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, Portland, Maine.

One of the most popular life policies of
the day, and one that is being very largely
adopted, is that of the Union Mutual Life
Insurance Company, denominated the
MAINE Law Convertible Policy, class A. -
This valuable policy once effected is by law
non forfeitable, and is, under some circum-
stances, self-sustaining in its full integrity.
1t is adapted to meet every yieissitude of
fortune that may occur to the insured, as it
can be surrendered at the close of any fifth
year with guaranteed definite cash value
or it can be converted into paid-up policy.
or into an annuity payable during the life of
the owner; but it grows more valuable by
age, especially if the dividends annually ac-
cruing be applied in the purchase of addi-
tional insurance, instead of in the reduction
of premium.
With these advantages, which will be
more highly appreciated when closely stud
led, we strongly recommend the adoption of
the Maine Law Convertible Policy, class A,
issued by the Union Mutual Life Insurance
Company, as admirably suited to meet every
change in fortune or inclination to which
the insured may be susceptible; whilst if
the policy be sustained in force it will prove
aproftable investment as well as a family
provision.-N. Z. Insurance Journal.

Rumford Falls Water Power

An item was published in a recent number
OF the Argus to the effect that Messrs. CHS.
holm d Brown had probably made sale OF
their valuable property at Rumford Falls tc
New York parties. This statement, we are
authoritatively informed is entirely un.
founded. The gentlemen above named have
not the least idea of selling the whole, OF
indeed, any part of their property at Rum.
ford Falls. In fact, recently, they have in.
increased their purchases. until at the pres.
ent time they own about 1000 acres in the
immediate vicinity of the falls, covering two
miles in length on the river, above and be.
low. and including the falls. In addition
they own all boomage and fiowage rights for
about five miles above the falls. Few peonle
know the value of this great water power
which has fall of 1873 feet. The reports
furnished by their engineer, j. H. Shedd
show over $4,000 horse power at the lowest
stage OF the river, or more than exists al
Lawrence, Lowell and Manchester combined
These gentlemen, with their engineer. are
perfecting plans for a thorough and proper
development of the full power. Undoubted-
~ the future of this great power will be in
the line of manufacturing vast amounts of
pulp and paper, it being only matter OF
very short time before well equipped rail-
road will be built to Rumford Falls.

HE WAS JAY couLp,s MAN.
Dry Land Yachtsman Who Stole a
Windham Team and Sailed AWAY.

About O'Clock Friday morning, young
man calling himself Harry Harris, but
whose real name is thought to have been
Walter Mott, who has been staying at North
Windham for few weeks, hired team of
Charles Cook, saying that he wanted to 60
to Little Falls. Cook was suspicious of the
fellow. and instructed an employe of his
who was going to the same place, to look out
for the young man. At Little Falls, how
ever, Harris gave him the slip, and started
off towards Gorham. He ran his horse
through Gorham and managed to elude his
pursuer. This was the last seen of him.
Harris is small fellow, about 8 feet inches
tall, with black hair and moustache, high
cheek bones and prominent eyes. Tue horse
was brown, with black points and banged
tail; the wagon top carriage, with black
body and red gear.
Harris has cut quite a figure through the
country around Portland. When he came
to Windham, he said he was Jay Gould's
yachtsman. On the strength of this he got
trusted all he could, and tried to pass checks
that were worth nothing to anyone. He also
claimed to be big detective. The city mar
shall of Saco thinks he is a fellow wanted
there for breaking into store about two
weeks ago.

The plans for the Kermis are approaching
completion. The various departments Of

exercises will take place on Tuesday even,

Chapman and others of note will be present
After the opening the Governor will hold a
reception. The dances on the green, such as
the Dutch, Hungarian and lawn tennis, will

Many of our citizens will remember the
colored boy, nicknamed SNOWFALL, who used
to black boots in this city until last year, and
who then went back to his old home in Mas
sau, only to die Of consumption. His name
was Charles Duncan and he made lots of
friends here. His brother George has now
come to stay in Portland and brought his
brothers kit with him, ready to take up
his work where he left it. He will probably
get good trade from his brothers old Gus

The Portland surveyorshIp.

A Washington special to the Advertiser
says:
Hon. William l.. Putnam, of Portland. il
expected in Washington to consult on the
nsherles question as soon as the President
returns.
1t is understood that Mr.. Putnam will re.
commend that the surveyorship at Portland
be abolished and the:duties be attended to by
the collector. 1t is quite probable, in view
OF the efforts at retrenchment in this line
that this course will be adopted.
